My first introduction to a more professional level of fitness was teaching aerobic classes in Andersen AFB, Guam. Great place, great weather and great place to wear a bikini, so it was a fun place to start. Then we (my husband and I) moved to Germany as a second tour in the AF, became a personal trainer and that motivated me even more to take my fitness to a higher level, it was great place to start because Germany is really big on bodybuilding and figure competitions AND not to mention that many people who come to the gym are bodybuilders. I started mingling in their muscular crowd that sooner than later I started training for my very first figure competition. Exactly a year later after my first show, on September 13, 2008, I stepped on stage and took home a WNBF Pro Card! Couldn't be more blessed!!! Sweat, pain, soreness, hungryness and lack of goodies certainly pay off!! and it was a good pay too!!!
Why I Love It:
makes me feel better about myself, going into the gym and walking out drenched in sweat muscles screaming and a good vibe from the people makes me want to give more. And besides who doesn't love hearing "wow you look amazing, I want your abs or your back"
How I Stay Motivated:
I try to keep in mind that long term goals are hard to achieve so, if I take baby steps I will reach my goals, people that I work with are always willing to come and spot me, or do cardio with me. It is very important to have a support system and those people who help you succeed will always be there to see you succeed!! I may be the one taking the credit, but really without my family and friends I wouldn't be able to!!I owe my success to my husband and people who are wanting to see me succeed!
BB Accomplishments:
Exactly after a year from my very first competition, I walk out of my fourth show with a pro card!!! I'm the kind of person, that if I set my mind on something i don't stop till I get it!! It is a blessing to say that it only took me a year!!

Every since I met him he was always friendly and willing to stop his workout and help out!!! I remember one day he came up to me and said.."damm lady you can move some weight" it kinda made me feel good, and motivated me to keep trying my best, Jason is an awesome guy and an amazing athlete, who ever has the chance to meet him, truly has the opportunity to get inspired and make an awesome friend!!! Thank you for all your support Jason!!!
After one year of training, early mornings, break down days and feeling like i'm growing feathers and fins from eating so much freaking chicken and fish, i finally walked out with a pro card, a weight set and a 6month supplement load!!! Thanks to all the people to watched me and supported...
